ISSARA

Ethically handcrafted leather goods

They're a direct-to-consumer purveyor of premium, responsibly handcrafted leather goods. By circumventing large factories, designing in-house and cutting out middlemen, they’re able to deliver heirloom-quality, personalised pieces at a fraction of the expected price. Issara was born out of the frustration of searching for a good looking, well-made and functional leather bag that didn’t break the bank. They work with artisans to create fine leather bags & accessories from premium materials. The result? Minimalist, highly functional pieces for travel & work that last the distance. They believe that happy people make quality products, and that commerce drive significant positive impact. Their artisans are paid fair wages, receive health insurance and are enrolled in an interest-yielding savings plan. They invest in their community and are working towards B corporation certification. Their goal is to make premium handcrafted leather goods accessible, while engaging in socially conscious business.
